Abstract

Artificial gonadal maturation and spawning inducement of striped knife-jaw Oplegnathus fasciatus were studied. Effects of water temperature and photoperiod under different regims on gonadal activity and maturation of three years old O. fasciatus were investigated histologically. In experiment I (Exp. I), water temperature was gradually increased from $14.5^{\circ}C$ to $21.0^{\circ}C$ and photoperiod was also gradually increased from 10 : 30 L to 15 : 30 L from December 1996 to February 1997 and this conditions were maintained till April. In experiment II (Exp. II), water temperature was increased in the same way from Exp. I and photoperiod was controlled as natural condition till early March and then increased to 15 : 30 L immediately. Control fish were reared in net-cage culture system in the sea from December 1996 to April 1997. Gonadal activity was initiated by increasing water temperature in both Exp. I and II from January. In Exp. I, gonadal maturation and spawning were induced from February when water temperature and photoperiod reached at $21.0^{\circ}C$ and 15 : 30 L, respectively. In Exp. II, complete gonadal maturation was not induced until early March but after treated by compensatory long photoperiod (15 : 30 L), the gonad was matured and subsequently spawning occurred.

돌돔 Oplegnathus fasciatus의 인위적인 성 성숙 및 산란 유도를 위한 연구에서, 3년생 돌돔 친어를 대상으로 수온 및 광주기 조절에 의한 생식소 발달을 조직학적으로 조사하였다. 수온 및 광주기 조절구 (Exp. I)는 1996년 12월부터 1997년 2월까지 수온은 $14.5^{\circ}C$에서 $21.0^{\circ}C$ 그리고 광주기는 10 : 30 L에서 15 : 30 L로 증가시킨 후 4월까지 계속 유지시켰다. 수온 조절구 (Exp. II)에서 수온은 Exp. I과 동일하게 조절하였고, 광주기는 3월 초순까지는 자연 광주기로 조절하였다가 이후 장일 광주기 (15 : 30L)로 재조절 하였다. 대조구는 1996년 12월부터 1997년 4월까지 해상 가두리의 자연 조건하에서 사육하였다. 생식소 활성은 1 월부터 Exp. I, II 모두에서 시작되었다. 그리고 성숙과 산란은 Exp. I에서는 수온과 광 주기가 각각 $21.0^{\circ}C$와 15 : 30L까지 도달한 2월부터 시작되었으나, Exp. II는 3월 초순까지도 부분적 성숙만 유도되다 장일 광주기 (15 : 30 L)로 조절한 후 3월 하순 부터는 성숙과 산란이 시작되었다.
